Reusable Bags

  1. Paper bags – as bad as Plastic bags

    A study on the life cycle of three types of disposable bags i.e. compostable plastic, paper, and single-use plastic showed that both paper bags and compostable plastic needed more material per bag in the manufacturing process. This meant higher consumption of raw materials in the manufacture of the bags and greater energy in manufacturing of the bag and greater fuel usage in the transportation of the finished product. The added requirements of transport and manufacturing energy for the compostable and paper bag systems far exceed the raw material use in the standard plastic bag method.paper-plastic-2

  2. Uses of Jute Fiber

    usesofjuteJute fibers can be used alone or blended with other types of fibers to make twine and rope. The coarse ends of the plants, also known as Jute butts, are used to make inexpensive cloth. On the other hand, very fine threads of jute can be taken out and made into imitation silk. Jute fibers can also be used to make paper, and with increasing fear about forest destruction for wood pulp that is used to make most paper, the importance of jute for this purpose is expected to increase in future. Jute fibers can also be woven into curtains, chair coverings, carpets, hessian cloth, and backing for linoleum.

  5. Tips for being more eco-friendly this fall

    Putting on an extra layer of clothing can mean that you take a little longer to turn the heat on, or that you leave the heat on at a lower thermostat temperature. Every tiny bit that you can avoid cranking the heat saves you fuel usage, which isn't just good for the planet, it's also good for your pocketbook.ecofriendly-this-fall

     

    Eating what's in season instead of supporting fuel-wasting and non-environmentally friendly importations of non-seasonal produce can have a huge impact on the planet. Agriculture is one of the most planet-destroying activities around in its current scale.
